What is the limitation period for filing a personal injury claim in Canada?

Canada Personal injury claim deadlines vary from province to province but are generally two to three years from the date of the accident. 

This period is called the limitation period for personal injury claims. If you miss the deadline, you may lose the right to seek compensation. 

These exceptions include situations where the injury is not apparent at the onset like lead poisoning, or where minors are involved in the injury. In such cases, the time limit may be extended. 

It’s important to consult an attorney as soon as possible so you don’t miss any deadlines. 

Once your lawyer has reviewed your case, a personal injury process will be initiated and knowledge of the personal injury claim limitation period will help to protect your rights.
